Good. If people can't put aside their religious thoughts and do their job properly they have no place going for the job in the first place. I don't say that just for politicians either, I say that for every job anyone could ever do.

It's not about religion in this instance however, it's about a politician's right to speak for themselves on an issue. Religion has nothing to do with the main issue here, if you ask me. They just chose to put that in the title to gain more attention.

When you join a political party you agree to have constraints placed on your ability to voice personal opinions on matters that are at odds with party policy. Especially when you have access to the public by virtue of the fact you are a representative of the party. If you don't want to accept those contstraints you don't join. Once you join you don't complain about the thing that you agreed to at the time of joining. You can try to change the rules, but you can't cry about being told to play by the rules when you knew the rules before you started to play the game.
